OPTICKS / Echoes from the Moon on Sunday, April 15th at 14:00 UT

OPTICKS is a live Networked Performance between the Earth and the Moon, during which images are transmitted to the Moon and back as radio signals in real time. This year, not only are we bouncing images to the Moon and back, we're sending your voices to the Moon!

Daniela de Paulis and Carole IONE will host a special homage to American composer, Pauline Oliveros (1932-2016) and her seminal piece, Echoes from the Moon, by inviting our worldwide community following the live event to join our panel and send their voices to the Moon and back.
